FOR YOUR DIARY

Dear Parents

Just a small message hoping that

everyone enjoys the Christmas

period with their families. I

congratulate the students who

were successful in securing an

a w a r d f o r o u t s t a n d i n g

achievement last week during the

prize giving assemblies.

I hope that parents, families and

friends are as proud of the child

as we are. I would like to

commend all of our staff for their

work over the year and I would

like to thank the wonderful

children of Cowra Public School

for their consistent effort

throughout the year.

During the break several projects

will be undertaken at the school

and we look forward to seeing

their completion. Please ensure

your children know that the

school is not a play area during

the holidays.

I am very excited about 2016 with

the number of children coming to

our school allowing us to

undertake some new classes and

we welcome parents and

students of Grades 1-6 back on

Thursday the 28th of January.

Kindergarten will commence on

Monday, 1 February.

Have a lovely break.

Bradley Tom
